what about scholes and carrick especially scholes he failed only one game vs fulham remember his left-footed vs west-ham and that fact that in every match exept fulham when he is one the pintch from first minute united never loose centre he is still one of the best centres and till 2004 was defenitelly best!

jesus everyone going for the bvious but look at the stats and the money people..... essien is a must... his record speaks for itself as does , gerrards and lampards....

but who else do you choose.... there are many great midfeilders in the premeir league at the minute but the thing is. non of them are as consistant as the before mentioned!

i mean modric, kranjcar, arshavin, mascherano and the rest of them certainly rank up there no doubt but i would honestly add ryan giggs to the other 3. again he's a consistant performer even now when hes coming to the end of his career... and for the idiot who put LUCAS LEIVA in there... i mean honestly do you even watch football? or are you just going by the ratings and the "wonderkid" description on championship manager? i'm a liverpool fan myself nd just the mere mention of his name fills me with dread... so anyway enough of my rambling just thought i had to post something. but again im no expert im just another football fan with his own opinion

ya currently the best of all is michael essien next is fabregas followed by lampard and arshavin but gerrard is not doing well.although lampard is in his worst condition but he is still better that gerrard
